User-Posted Comments on Job 11:12
11:12 For a piercing by an individual (rape) would be cause to allow enclosing (imprisonment), instead through “Those Enlightened (’adam),” citizens (of the Government of the ‘Self-Existent One’) to produce fruits (of acceptable behavior) by means of bearing their burdens (enduring afflictions).
As we all know, 'Iyowb, the Persecuted' is a stageplay, not an actual history of a physical person. In this scene, Tsowphar is trying to grasp the difference between those who get converts to religion through rape and what is expected of those who are to become citizens of the Government of the 'Self-Existent One [I AM]'--enduring affliction to show agreement with the "Mighty One ['el]."

The foolish things of the world ELohim choose to confound those who profess themselves to be wise. They have a worldly wisdom and the world hears them. Who amongst us has not heard a child state the obvious in their innocence that made you stop and go, "hmmm?" Yet, if a man of Elohim states the very same thing people's "offense meter" goes off the scale.
Now that being said, it is of little use to come across as Zophar did toward Job. He fell upon Job without grace, without mercy, and showed no signs of understanding toward Job. He made little effort to (1) get the whole story and much less (2) to accept what Job was trying to tell him. Zophar is the epitome of the hardened, ingrained, entrenched, habitual, deep-rooted religious bigots that infect society today.
In today's society it is easy to become entrenched in a position that "seems" to be correct. We need to be careful to not so "zealously" defend a position without (1) getting the full story and (2) getting Elohim's position on things.
In the end Job repented whereas his three friends did not. Elohim tells the three friends to bring a sacrifice to Job, and that Job would pray for them. Job, in a way, became their High Priest that offered to Elohim their sin sacrifice. I would definately say that it was a humbling experience to face a man they wronged and yet was there praying for their forgiveness.
